Friday, 20 July 2012. So I passed my degree. With a 2:1. I am pretty happy about that result. Now I just need to look for a job; I've handed out CVs to everyone that I can think of, but I have also applied for a few runner jobs and a few character animator jobs. I hope I don't have to wait long before getting a job. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Subscribe to updates from my blog. So I passed my degree. Useful and interesting links. Creating a sky in Maya.

Saturday, 29 October 2011. My order from vistaprint finally came in the post after about two weeks; so now I have contact cards to give people whenever I want to get in touch and work on something. I'm quite pleased with them, because they really reflect my creative identity. Have a look: www.ravensbuzz.co.uk. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Subscribe to updates from my blog.

Tuesday, 7 August 2012. 11 Second Club Entry so far. So I filmed myself reciting the lines for this month's 11 Second Club competition and I chose the best poses from each time I recited the lines. I put those together into one video file, that I used as reference for the old man character. I like it so far but I still have a lot of work to do. In the mean time, I have posted it to this forum to get some initial feedback: http:/ www.11secondclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php? Saturday, 4 August 2012. However, ...

Wednesday, 23 January 2013. A bit more head movement, blinking, tidier lines and some colour. Looking good so far, hopefully I can get the bulk of the flash work completed this weekend. Sunday, 20 January 2013. I have just under 3 weeks to get this project done in between also working a part time retail job. So far, I have visualised my concept and come up with this animatic. I still have quite a bit of work left to do including drawing up some backgrounds and producing some painterly textures in Photosh...

Friday, 15 June 2012. So long, Ravensbourne 2008-2012. Well, as of today I cease to be a student. This week has been particularly euphoric as we have just had our degree show, Ravensbourne2012. And I am proud to be able to say that the Animation show was a MASSIVE success and that our tutors have actually told us that this was the best year that Animation has ever seen in terms of both films and of course, the arrangement of degree show space that we had. In case you haven't been following my BA Blog.

Wednesday, 3 October 2012. 11 Second Club. Take Two. In the mean time, I have decided to enter this month's 11 second club and to make sure that I complete this one. I have already got quite a strong concept here and I have done some sketching of some poses and camera shots and I have visualised it by putting together a 3D Animatic. It does not look very exciting yet but here are the shots that I have worked out. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Subscribe to updates from my blog. 11 Second Club. Take Two.

Monday, 7 November 2011. If you happen to come across this blog post, would you please be so kind as to fill in this questionnaire on the process of motion capture. It has two video clips that you will need to watch and answer questions about, both of which are around 1 minute long; but you will not need a thorough knowledge of motion capture to answer.

Saturday, 30 July 2011. So, the Red Bull idea that I proposed in the previous post never got off the ground, which is sad as I had a good idea. It didn't take off because I had too much work to do and could not focus on any side projects for that time and I had a very tight deadline to complete the project. Anyway, there is no use kicking myself over it as I have two lots of terrific news to share with you all :D. There is also a very funny Looney Tunes cartoon called Long Haired Hare. In the mean time, ...
